A Fashion Editor's Formula for Styling T by Tiffany Gold Jewelry Without Overthinking It

Some women have a signature scent, but I have a go-to jewelry combination I wear day and night, work and weekends. It's quite simple: a gold pendant and a bracelet, with small diamond earrings when I want a little shine. As a jewelry minimalist, that's my idea of being fully accessorized. It works with practically everything I own, which is probably why I keep coming back to it.

Once I find something I love, I tend to keep it in the family. With T by Tiffany, the slim proportions and clean lines win me over. The Small Smile Pendant, T Wire Bracelet, and Mini Smile Earrings with diamonds, all in 18-karat yellow gold, have the delicacy I gravitate toward, with enough presence to feel fully accessorized.

Ahead, take a closer look at each piece—and how I style them together, with a few longtime favorites mixed in.

Gold Pieces That Get Along With Everything

T by Tiffany's clean lines and 18-karat yellow gold make these three pieces especially easy to mix into your jewelry wardrobe. The Smile Pendant and diamond Smile earrings share that cheeky curve, while the T Wire Bracelet brings a more angular shape to the mix. They look beautiful together and slip just as easily into the company of a favorite chain, a stack of rings, or the timepiece you never take off.

A Shared History, Different Expressions

T by Tiffany takes inspiration from a 1975 archival bracelet and the house's T motif, giving these pieces a connection that goes beyond their yellow gold. Look at how the letter flanks both ends of the Wire Bracelet, then turns a curved line into a grin in the Smile designs. I'm partial to that kind of ingenuity: a recognizable motif with enough variety to keep a jewelry enthusiast interested.

Let Your Personal Style Lead

Start with the piece you'd be most disappointed to leave home without. For me, that's usually earrings, and the Mini Smile Earrings with diamonds bring just the right amount of levity to my everyday uniform. If a necklace is your nonnegotiable, the Small Smile Pendant gives an open neckline a beautiful touch of shine. And if your bracelet stack is practically part of your identity, make room for the T Wire Bracelet. Your existing favorites can join in from there, or you can keep it simple and sophisticated.

A Few Favorite Ways to Wear Them

My formula for styling T by Tiffany is to think about the parts of your look that could use a little shine and work backward. The Small Smile Pendant and T Wire Bracelet give you gold at the neckline and wrist—a combination I'd wear with a very '90s V-neck sweater and jeans. For dinner, I'd throw on a black turtleneck, swap out the necklace and bring in the diamond Smile earrings—especially with my hair up.

A Collection You Can Build Over Time

The lovely thing about T by Tiffany is that you can build your collection over a few occasions and discover your favorite combinations as you go. A birthday pendant, an anniversary bracelet, diamond earrings to celebrate something you've worked hard for—each can have its own story and still look excellent with the others. If someone you love already wears one, consider that a very useful hint for their next gift.

The Legging-Color Trend That's Suddenly Cooler Than Black and Burgundy

I'm not saying that I can predict the future, but I'm not saying that I can't either—at least in terms of fashion trends. Case in point: Earlier this week, I ordered a pair of cobalt blue leggings. That night, I came across photos of Mary Beth Barone, everyone's current favorite funny It girl, wearing leggings in the exact same royal blue shade.

Barone, who was spotted walking in NYC with Joe Alwyn (she's starring with him in an upcoming romantic comedy that she wrote), paired her cobalt leggings with white sneakers and a quarter-zip pullover. I find leggings in this shade to be just as versatile as the winter staples black and burgundy, and given that cobalt is set to be *the* color trend of 2027, it makes sense that it's already infiltrating every fashion category there is—leggings included.

Activewear brands have fully caught on to the cobalt craze, and you'll find plenty of cool options via Form, Lululemon, Aritzia, Nike, and more. Keep scrolling to shop my current picks.

I Refuse to Save Fine Gold Jewelry for Special Occasions, and HardWear by Tiffany Proves My Point

I'm not one to save my best pieces for some fabulous occasion that may or may not materialize. Getting dressed is one of life's little pleasures, and I'm perfectly happy to indulge that impulse whether I'm heading out on a coffee run or making a return in SoHo. Great gold jewelry is my favorite way to make any outing feel special—and HardWear by Tiffany proves my point. Its sculptural links have plenty of presence, but they look entirely at home with classic wardrobe staples. A little yellow gold beside a sweater cuff or framing the face? Suddenly, a day of to-dos feels 10 times more special.

Each piece offers different ways to spruce up the day, depending on how much of a statement you're in the mood for. Here's what makes them so versatile—and how I'd wear them on a perfectly ordinary Tuesday.

Recognizable Gold Icons for Daily Wear

HardWear by Tiffany's signature links bring enough presence to make everyday clothes feel styled. The signature gauge links are instantly recognizable, and their 18-karat yellow gold composition brings just enough polish to clothes that would otherwise feel very off-duty. The two pieces I'm reaching for most are the Micro Link Bracelet and Medium Link Earrings. A formal invitation is lovely, but have you seen what these can do for a plain white tee?

HardWear’s History at a Glance

HardWear by Tiffany draws inspiration from a 1962 Tiffany & Co. archival bracelet, which explains why the links feel so distinctive. I'm always drawn to the little bits of heritage that make a design worth a second look. There's plenty of that here: the contours, the proportions, how the individual elements come together. If you're going to wear a piece constantly, it helps to have something to appreciate beyond how well it goes with your sweater.

Making HardWear Part of Your Personal Style

The Micro Link Bracelet brings a smaller-scale gold accent; the Medium Link Earrings give you more of a statement. I love the bracelet for the person whose outfits look simple until you notice all the excellent accessories. The earrings are for days when you want your jewelry to get a compliment before your coat is even off. Both feel like pieces people start to associate with you—and notice when you're not wearing them.

How I’m Wearing HardWear by Tiffany Every Day

I pair HardWear by Tiffany with the clothes already earning their keep in my wardrobe: the bracelet with a white shirt, cuffs turned back, and the earrings with a graphic tee and a herringbone blazer. For dinner, I'd slip into a black dress and keep the jewelry exactly where it is. Want another touch of gold? Add another bracelet or two to your stack. This is the fun of a good jewelry wardrobe: Your favorite clothes get a few more possibilities.

From My Wish List to Theirs

HardWear by Tiffany makes a great gift for anyone who shares my philosophy that good jewelry deserves an outing regardless of what's on the calendar. A birthday or promotion is an excellent reason to give a loved one a piece of their own—and knowing they'll wear it with their usual Monday outfit makes the choice even better. The same logic applies to a self-gift, naturally. If you've been waiting for an excuse, this is it. Shop more of my Tiffany & Co. favorites ahead.

72 Hours With Tommy Hilfiger at the US Grand Prix in Austin

There's no better place for this American girl to attend her first Formula One Grand Prix than in Austin, Texas, where I spent the race weekend with Tommy Hilfiger and the Cadillac F1 Team. As a denim lover and frequent cowboy-boot wearer, I felt right at home. Still, nothing prepares you for the sheer magnitude of attending an F1 race in person. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't initially intimidated by an event of this scale, but Tommy Hilfiger's Americana spirit kept me grounded, providing me with a wardrobe of pieces I felt comfortable and confident in (ahem, denim). Truth be told, this trip felt like a match made in heaven.

At least I wasn't the only first-timer at the US Grand Prix—it was also Cadillac's first time racing at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). Tommy Hilfiger, however, is no stranger to the race. The brand has sponsored F1 teams since the 1990s and created capsule collections that seamlessly blend its classic American sportswear heritage with F1's innovative technical expertise. The latest iteration is the Tommy Hilfiger x Cadillac Formula 1® Team Austin Fanwear capsule. The denim-led edit features special-edition pieces with chrome finishes, American flag chevron artwork, and signature red, white, and blue colorways incorporated throughout. The aesthetic was perfect for my weekend in Austin.

To see how I styled the capsule for 72 hours in Austin with Tommy Hilfiger, keep scrolling.

Day 1: A Warm Welcome to Austin

7 a.m.: Day one started early—and frantically, after throwing on last-minute cowboy boots and second-guessing my bandana accessories (at the risk of dressing a little too on the nose for Texas). After one Instagram scroll through the outfits each driver wore on Thursday for media day, I knew it'd be okay to lean in.

5 p.m.: I arrived at my room at the Austin Proper Hotel to find a closet full of pieces from the Tommy Hilfiger x Cadillac Formula 1® Team Austin Fanwear capsule. The capsule features classic TH pieces like denim and white tees, with an Americana flair that felt fitting for the Austin locale, giving me even more confirmation to embrace the aesthetic for the weekend.

8 p.m.: After freshening up, I headed downstairs to the Proper's Quill Room for a cocktail party and live performance by the legendary JoJo. We collectively sang along to her acoustic versions of "Leave (Get Out)" and "Too Little Too Late." The nostalgia was palpable. After one sparkling water with lime and a pit stop at the Tommy Hilfiger photo booth, I was off to bed.

Day 2: Qualifying Day at the Cadillac F1 Paddock Club

7 a.m.: Day two started with a workout on the Pilates reformer at the Proper's gym, followed by quick coffee and a jaunt to TOMO Mags, a magazine shop in Austin. It's a must for anyone interested in supporting independent artists and print publications.

10 a.m.: Back at the hotel, I selected my outfit for the day. The obvious choice was the Tommy x Cadillac F1® Team Austin Tank Top ($40) paired with dark-wash Tommy jeans, my black boots, and a suede jacket I took off the second I stepped into that late-October Texas heat.

12 p.m.: We arrived at COTA, where I was immediately taken aback by the size of the track. There's an American flag the size of a football field, a full-blown amusement park, and guests flying through the sky in gondolas that transport them between the new trackside clubhouse above Turn 1 and the paddock area. For the international guests visiting COTA, there's no denying it: you're in America now, baby.

2 p.m.: When our group arrived at the Cadillac F1 Paddock Club, we were greeted with cold beverages and crisp air conditioning. We then headed down to the pit garage to learn how mechanics, engineers, and technicians make changes to the Formula 1 cars in real time.

4 p.m.: It was time for Qualifying, so we took our seats outside and watched as the drivers pulled out of the pits. At Q1, all drivers and teams took to the track. Six drivers were then eliminated. The process repeated for Q2. Then at Q3, the final ten drivers competed for the top grid posts. The driver with the fastest single lap time gets on pole position for race day—in this case it was Kimi Antonelli, the 20-year-old Mercedes driver from Italy.

8 p.m.: The day didn't end at the track, of course. Tommy Hilfiger brought together a table full of editors, creatives, and creators at the Proper's La Piscina for a debrief of the events (and some really excellent fajitas). In this moment, it was hard to imagine how day three could top day two.

Day 3: Race Day

9 a.m.: After a jam-packed Saturday, my grand plans of waking up early for a walk along the Colorado River were foiled by the sheer coziness of the Proper's king bed. I reluctantly peeled myself out of the sheets to select my race-day look. I went with a black slip dress, black western boots, and my personalized Tommy x Cadillac F1® Team denim jacket.

10:45 a.m.: With a police escort that made me feel cooler than it should've, we headed back to COTA. The denim jacket was the perfect choice because the Cadillac Paddock Club set up a station to add custom embroidery and patches. It's always a favorite and thoughtful activation at an event.

The next few hours were dedicated to ceremonial race day traditions. We headed downstairs for a walk through the pit lane, watched Train perform "Drops of Jupiter," and witnessed the Grid Walk that takes place 30 minutes before the start of the race. One of the highlights of the day was getting to see the drivers hop on their kick scooters right below us. It reminded me of New York mornings full of elementary school kids scootering their way to class, except here, my view was of the world's most esteemed athletes getting ready to race in front of an international audience. But if anyone can make it look cool, it's Lewis Hamilton.

3 p.m.: The race began with Kimi Antonelli on pole position. However, our eyes were on Cadillac drivers Valterri Bottas and Checo Pérez. The second the drivers started their engines, I understood why earplugs were included in our gift bags. Within seconds, they took off towards Turn 1 and all that was left was the safety car following quickly behind.

4:30 p.m.: We were escorted down to the team garage to be fully immersed in the action. We got an inside look at the nerve center of the operation, where the team studies the screens, analyzes the data, and prepares for potential pit stops.

5 p.m.: The race concluded with Kimi Antonelli as the winner!

9 p.m.: The day didn't end there. I headed downstairs to the Quill Room for one last Tommy Hilfiger party featuring a DJ set by TOKiMONSTA.

11 p.m.: After one last sparkling water with lime and big thank yous to the incredible Tommy Hilfiger team, I was off to pack to catch my 6 a.m. flight back to New York City.
